This is the city, it's a city of crime. My name is Cineaste, I carry a badge. There's 1000 stories in this naked city, such as why I'm walking around talking to myself. Voice over monologues are not uncommon in TV or films, particularly ones focusing on detective work...

Odd Thomas - a book series by Dean Koontz. Told in first person point of view, it can both humorous and creepy. My current avatar comes from the cover of the novel "Odd Hours". In any case, ever have a sort of running dialogue in your head while going about daily life?

Blade Runner - based on Phillip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, this was directed by Ridley Scott. The original theatrical release contained a voice-over, later removed for director cuts. The vid if you watch will explain the reasoning. Do you find such dialogue helps, or a bit cheesy / cliché?
